This document includes useful information about RF exposure and helpful instructions on how to control RF exposures. Motorola radios are designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at usage factors of up to 50% talk–50% listen.
Page 8
Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with distance from the antenna. For body-worn operation, always place the radio in a Motorola approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using Motorola non-approved accessories may result in exposure levels which exceed the occupational /controlled environment RF exposure limits.

ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. Facilities To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS Vehicles with an air bag WARNING: Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.

Chapter 2 THEORY OF OPERATION Introduction This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the VHF circuits in the radio. Schematic diagrams and board layout diagrams are included in Chapter 4 in this Section of the manual. VHF (146-174MHz) Receiver The VHF receiver covers the range of 146-174 MHz and provides switchable IF bandwidth for use with 20/25/30 kHz or 12.5 kHz channel spacing systems.
THEORY OF OPERATION Receiver Front End Incoming RF signals from the antenna are first routed through the harmonic filter and antenna switch, part of the transmitter circuitry, before being applied to the receiver front end. The receiver front end consists of a preselector filter, RF amplifier, an interstage filter, and a double-balanced first mixer.
VHF (146-174MHz) Receiver Receiver Back End The receiver back end is a dual conversion design. High IF selectivity is provided by FL51, a 4-pole fundamental mode 44.85 MHz crystal filter with a minimum 3 dB bandwidth of + 6.7 kHz, a maximum 20 dB bandwidth of ±12.5 kHz, and a maximum insertion loss of 3.5 dB.
THEORY OF OPERATION VHF Transmitter The VHF transmitter covers the range of 146-174 MHz. Depending on model, the output power of the transmitter is either switchable on a per-channel basis between high power (5 watts) and low power (1 watt), or is factory preset to 2 watts. The transmitter is divided into four major blocks as shown in Figure 2-2.
VHF Transmitter Harmonic Filter The harmonic filter consists of components C130-C136 and L130-L132. The harmonic filter is a seven-pole elliptical low-pass configuration, optimized for low insertion loss, with a 3 dB frequency of approximately 210 MHz and typically less than 0.8 dB insertion loss in the passband. Antenna Matching Network The harmonic filter presents a 50Ω...
THEORY OF OPERATION VHF Frequency Generation Circuitry The frequency generation system, shown in Figure 2-3, is composed of two circuit blocks, the Fractional-N synthesizer IC U201, the VCO/Buffer IC U251, and associated circuitry. Figure 2-4 shows the peripheral interconnect and support circuitry used in the synthesizer block, and Figure 2-5 details the internal circuitry of the VCOBIC and its interconnections to the surrounding components.
VHF Frequency Generation Circuitry Fractional-N Synthesizer The Fractional-N synthesizer, shown in Figure 2-4, uses a 16.8 MHz crystal (Y201) to provide the reference frequency for the system. External components C201-C203, R202 and D201 are also part of the temperature-compensated oscillator circuit. The dc voltage applied to varactor D201 from U201 pin 25 is determined by a temperature-compensation algorithm within U201, and is specific to each crystal Y201, based on a unique code assigned to the crystal that identifies its temperature characteristics.
THEORY OF OPERATION Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) The VCOBIC (U251), shown in Figure 2-5, in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U201) generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U251 pin 19) determines which oscillator and buffer are enabled. A sample of the RF signal from the enabled oscillator is routed from U251 pin 12 through a low pass filter, to the prescaler input of the synthesizer IC (U201 pin 32).
Chapter 3 TROUBLESHOOTING TABLES This section contains detailed troubleshooting tables. These tables should be used as a guide in determining the problem areas. They are not a substitute for knowledge of circuit operation and astute troubleshooting techniques. It is advisable to refer to the related detailed circuit descriptions in the theory of operation sections prior to troubleshooting a radio.

Chapter 2 THEORY OF OPERATION Introduction This Chapter provides a detailed theory of operation for the UHF circuits in the radio. Schematic diagrams and board layout diagrams are included in Chapter 4 in this Section of the manual. UHF (438-470MHz) Receiver The UHF receiver covers the range of 438-470 MHz and provides switchable IF bandwidth for use with 20/25/30 kHz or 12.5 kHz channel spacing systems.
THEORY OF OPERATION Receiver Front End Incoming RF signals from the antenna are first routed through the harmonic filter and antenna switch, part of the transmitter circuitry, before being applied to the receiver front end. The receiver front end consists of a preselector filter, RF amplifier, an interstage filter, and a double-balanced first mixer.
UHF (438-470MHz) Receiver Receiver Back End The receiver back end is a dual conversion design. High IF selectivity is provided by FL51, a 4-pole fundamental mode 44.85 MHz crystal filter with a minimum 3 dB bandwidth of ±6.7 kHz, a maximum 20 dB bandwidth of + 12.5 kHz, and a maximum insertion loss of 3.5 dB.
THEORY OF OPERATION UHF Transmitter The UHF transmitter covers the range of 438-470 MHz. Depending on model, the output power of the transmitter is either switchable on a per-channel basis between high power (4 watts) and low power (1 watt), or is factory preset to 2 watts. The transmitter is divided into four major blocks as shown in Figure 2-2.
UHF Transmitter Harmonic Filter The harmonic filter consists of components C130-C136 and L130-L132. The harmonic filter is a seven-pole Chebychev low-pass configuration, optimized for low insertion loss, with a 3 dB frequency of approximately 600 MHz and typically less than 0.8 dB insertion loss in the passband. Antenna Matching Network The harmonic filter presents a 50Ω...
Page 164
THEORY OF OPERATION UHF Frequency Generation Circuitry The frequency generation system, shown in Figure 2-3, is composed of two circuit blocks, the Fractional-N synthesizer IC U201, the VCO/Buffer IC U251, and associated circuitry. Figure 2-4 shows the peripheral interconnect and support circuitry used in the synthesizer block, and Figure 2-5 details the internal circuitry of the VCOBIC and its interconnections to the surrounding components.
UHF Frequency Generation Circuitry Fractional-N Synthesizer The Fractional-N synthesizer, shown in Figure 2-4, uses a 16.8 MHz crystal (Y201) to provide the reference frequency for the system. External components C201-C203, R202 and D201 are also part of the temperature-compensated oscillator circuit. The dc voltage applied to varactor D201 from U201 pin 25 is determined by a temperature-compensation algorithm within U201, and is specific to each crystal Y201, based on a unique code assigned to the crystal that identifies its temperature characteristics.
THEORY OF OPERATION Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) The VCOBIC (U251), shown in Figure 2-5, in conjunction with the Fractional-N synthesizer (U201) generates RF in both the receive and the transmit modes of operation. The TRB line (U251 pin 19) determines which oscillator and buffer are enabled. A sample of the RF signal from the enabled oscillator is routed from U251 pin 12 through a low pass filter, to the prescaler input of the synthesizer IC (U201 pin 32).
Chapter 3 TROUBLESHOOTING TABLES This section contains detailed troubleshooting tables. These tables should be used as a guide in determining the problem areas. They are not a substitute for knowledge of circuit operation and astute troubleshooting techniques. It is advisable to refer to the related detailed circuit descriptions in the theory of operation sections prior to troubleshooting a radio.
